I don’t give a crap what he uses either but if one starts spreading incorrect information,﻿ *that* is really uncool. New photographers may make purchasing decisions based on incorrect information (i.e. lies) propagated through these videos and waste their hard-earned money. *THAT* is the real problem I have here.

The point was that the two exposures are connected in the other brands. The sponsor here is Adorama, where you can buy Canon, Nikon, Sony etc.
I use Nikon, but I don’t give a crap if Mark uses﻿ more Canon in these tutorials. Calling names is really uncool, when you have so many hours of well explained topics for free.

This guy is an idiot. Exposure or flash compensation isn’t exclusive to Canon, you can find it on almost any major brand, DSLR or﻿ point-and-shoot. At least now we know which camera manufacturer was sponsoring this episode.

Thanks for your videos. They are very helpful. One thing I am confused about is; in the video you were shooting at shutter speeds as high as 1/3200 successfully without hypersync. How, and why do I need pocketwizards for hypersync if I can shout with﻿ flash at such high shutter speeds without it? Thanks

Mark quick question: for nikons, if I m shooting in AP, and I dial the ev on camera down by -2 and bring the flash up by +2,﻿ will get get the same results? Perfect exposure on the subject, but background is 2 stops darker? Thanks

yeah, AV priority and AEC/FEC works really well once you get used to them, but you should’ve pointed out that nothing prevents you from resorting to Manual mode as you’ve shown for Nikon users.
@iland1973: i assume he’s using high ISO because features like High speed sync and FP are real power drains, so maybe he didn’t want to stress his flash too much (higher ISO, less power required to light up your subject); my 2 cents.
nice video tho, i’m enjoying them﻿ all 🙂
